About My Clients

So you’ve decided to dive into the world of therapy. Maybe you and your partner are having communication issues. Maybe your child is experiencing social anxiety at school. Or maybe your family is having a hard time understanding one another. Whatever the reason that brought you here, I hope that by the time you finish reading you will feel comfortable with taking me on this journey with you.

My Background and Approach

The hallmark of my therapy style draws from a strengths-based approach. This means that I like to help clients find strengths in their adversities in order to build them up for resiliency. My goal is to provide a safe, inclusive environment led with compassion and unconditional positive regard. We will work collaboratively to create goals that align with your desired outcome of treatment.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My graduate program allowed me the opportunity to take advanced courses that enhanced my practice with couples and families. I am passionate about looking through a systemic lens to cultivate change within individuals. We are a product of our environment, after all.
